# Dext vs Timetastic

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Timetastic at none against Dext's 15. Timetastic also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.1). Dext's advantage is ratings volume (7.4K vs 66) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dext sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Timetastic asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Dext against 4.8 for Timetastic. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dext has 7.4K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of Dext's written reviews are positive against 54% of Timetastic's.

Dext ships an update every 2 weeks, Timetastic every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
